transformers toys 2007: packaging images

from prototypes to actual toy-packaging, here are more images of the Transformers-movie "Deluxe"-line of figures (first seen here) courtesy of Transformerslive + TFormers.com:

nice mecha-headshots, IMHO :)

Decepticon police-car Barricade (last seen here+here):

Decepticon heavy-weight bruiser Brawl looking impressive in these packaging images:

but "unfortunately" the "actual" toy [via] makes him look rather pre-schooler-ish, IMHO:

somehow i wish they could at least give a metallic paint-app or even weather them up a tad, for "realism", much less have the toys to scale with each other (ie: Tank is gonna be mondo-bigger than a car etc) ... oh well ... :p

yet another Decepticon named: Wreckage - which doesn't seem to be a part of the movie-line up (or at least he's not mentioned) and mayhap just another "toy" to join with the rest ... (unless of coz he's yet another "surprise" addition, eh?)

back panel detail:

IMHO, you can see when this might not be a part of the movie-figures becoz he looks more "toy" than the "cumbersome" design-adaptation of movie-mechas ... *heh*

Autobot Jazz soars thru the citystreets in a smart silver-finish:

somehow i wish someone would do a purely animated (CG-ehanced) Transformers-film, ala Appleseed or Ghost In The Shell: Innocence, IMHO :)
